John,

Nice job.? Once I get the RELS sorted out, I will have a little time and will start printing some of these type of boxes for various issues around the shop.? I know you have containers for your chucks, among other things.? If you have time, might you list the shop-related items you have printed?? It could give others some ideas of what to do in their shop.

I am curious about the time it took to print the job, but how much time did it take you to create the file?
I have only 3d printed once at my makerspace, and files that were already created.

What does Mod 1.5 2 indicate?? Is this your file name?

One can never have enough boxes...?

Hi Tamra
Welcome to the forum.
I assume you are referring to 3D printing of a lid and base for holding some involute gear cutters.??
File creation approx 1 1/4 hours for both, I use Mastercam to develop the CAD and convert to STL.
I use Slic3r for the gcode generation.

1.5 and 2 refer to the Metric module of the gears.?
Imperial commonly known as the DP, diametrical pitch.or basically the size of the gear.
20 DP being very common with a pressure angle of 14 1/2 degrees.
For comparison, a? #1 module is equal to 25.4 DP.? a # 2 is 12.7 DP. pressure angle 20 degrees.
If you have a passion for making your own gears, we can help you start on this forum.
A good text book is from the Workshop Practice Series. # 17 Gears and Gear Cutting by Ivan Law
if you are new to this important part of out Bobby.
Thanks
